@Richard Fernandez If the numbers make sense and the property fits your strategy, you should buy.

Thank you @Richard Loniewski @Bryan Mitchell and @Mike D'Arrigo  Your advice is very helpful. 

Originally posted by @Richard Mollel:Personally, of the places you mentioned, I find Baltimore County the most appealing.

@Debbie Richards I have heard Ashley Kehr mention she does that with her partners I think. 

@Steven Richards Not sure if you're sold on those markets specifically, but the Midwest is also a great place to invest.

Thanks in advance, Richard. 

Many solid and popular books about rental property investing have already been recommended here, so I'll suggest some less obvious reads...Liar's Poker (Michael Lewis) for pure entertainment and a primer on how Wall Street supports liquidity in the housing market.Home (Witold Rybczynski) to appreciate the many different ways people want to live inside their homes.What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow (Frank Gallinelli) to understand when and how to deploy key financial metrics to make better decisions.Handyman In-Your-Pocket (Richard Young & Thomas Glover) to be your own handyman and/or check up on contractors and subs you hire to work on your rentals.Have fun and don't forget that you'll learn more by doing your first actual deal than you will from all the books in the world.

@Richard Mukai  I'm guessing the service you're referring to through LexisNexis is the CLUE report, but you won't have access to that (unless the seller provides it to you). 

Good luck Richard!
